Product details
Overview
RCLAMP3361P.TFT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 3.3V I/O lines in USB Type-C, USB PD, and industrial interfaces. It delivers ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, clamps at 5.8V (IPP = 24A), maintains <0.5Ω dynamic resistance, and operates from –40°C to +125°C - enabling robust protection for superspeed data lanes and power delivery control lines.
For engineers reviewing the RCLAMP3361P.TFT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device offers constant clamping voltage across temperature and pulse current, low 0.25pF junction capacitance for signal integrity, and DFN-10 2.5mm × 1.0mm packaging optimized for high-density USB Type-C layouts.
Technical Context
RCLAMP3361P.TFT uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains stable - 5.8V at both 24A and 40A (tp = 8/20μs) - due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
The device protects one bidirectional 3.3V data line (e.g., USB SS TX/RX, DP/DM) with ultra-low capacitance (0.25pF @ 3.3V), <100nA reverse leakage at VRWM, and integrated ground-return paths across all five GND pins. Its functional architecture eliminates thermal runaway risk and avoids voltage-dependent clamping drift over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VRWM) | 3.3 V - matches standard USB 3.x and DisplayPort I/O rail voltage, ensuring no DC loading or false triggering during normal operation. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 5.8 V @ IPP = 24A (8/20μs) - stays below 6.0V across full temperature range, protecting 5V-tolerant PHY receivers without margin erosion. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 0.25 pF @ VR = 3.3V, 1MHz - preserves signal integrity up to 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2), minimizing eye diagram degradation and jitter. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for consumer and industrial end-equipment certifications. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 40 A (tp = 8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity for industrial USB host ports and docking stations. |
| Dynamic Resistance (RDYN) | 0.45 Ω - enables flat clamping response; voltage rise per ampere is <0.5V/A, critical for maintaining tight clamping tolerance. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports extended-temperature deployment in automotive infotainment, industrial gateways, and outdoor IoT edge nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-10 (2.5mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm), Pb-free, RoHS/WEEE compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | GND | Five dedicated ground terminals - reduce parasitic inductance and distribute surge return current, enabling full 40A rating without trace heating or ground bounce. |
| 6 | IN | Single bidirectional I/O terminal - connects directly to protected line (e.g., USB SS TX+); internal FET shunts transients to all five GND pins simultaneously. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 | GND | Additional ground terminals - complete symmetrical 10-pin layout for optimal thermal dissipation and PCB current spreading in high-density layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.2V from –40°C to +125°C and across 10–40A surge range - eliminates derating calculations for thermal or current margin. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.25pF enables use on 10Gbps differential pairs without equalization overhead or signal loss - validated for USB 3.2 Gen 2 and DP 1.4 compliance. |
| Multi-GND thermal & surge path | Ten-terminal layout with five GND pins per side provides 2× lower thermal resistance vs. 6-pin DFN - sustains repeated 40A surges without junction overheating. |
| Integrated trigger precision | Breakdown threshold tightly controlled at 3.6V ±5% - ensures activation only above 3.3V rail noise while avoiding false trips from ripple or overshoot. |
| Halogen-free & green process | Meets IPC-1752A Class 3 material declaration; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020, peak 260°C). |
Applications
| USB Superspeed Data Lines | DisplayPort Differential Pairs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RClamp3371ZC | Same 0.25pF capacitance and ±30kV ESD rating, but rated for 24A IPP (vs. 40A for RCLAMP3361P.TFT); uses 6-pin DFN (1.6mm × 1.0mm). | Valid for USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) and lower-speed interfaces; insufficient for sustained 40A surge duty in industrial USB hosts. | Select RClamp3371ZC when board space is constrained and peak surge demand is ≤24A; verify thermal margin in multi-pulse scenarios. |
| uClamp3311P.TCT | Higher 6.5V clamping (VC = 6.5V @ 24A), 0.35pF capacitance, and 30A IPP rating; packaged in 10-pin DFN (2.5mm × 1.0mm) with identical footprint. | Suitable for less sensitive 5V-tolerant receivers; higher capacitance may impact 10Gbps eye height in margin-critical designs. | Choose uClamp3311P.TCT only if system-level testing confirms 6.5V clamp does not exceed receiver ABS MAX; avoid for USB 3.2 Gen 2. |
Compared with RClamp3371ZC and uClamp3311P.TCT, RCLAMP3361P.TFT uniquely combines 40A surge capability, 5.8V clamping, and 0.25pF capacitance in a production-qualified 10-pin DFN - making it the only option qualified for simultaneous USB 3.2 Gen 2 signal integrity and industrial-grade surge immunity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of RCLAMP3361P.TFT at 40A surge current?
RCLAMP3361P.TFT clamps at 5.8V when subjected to a 40A, 8/20μs surge current - confirmed per IEC 61000-4-5 testing with 2Ω source impedance. This value remains stable from –40°C to +125°C, distinguishing it from conventional TVS diodes whose clamping rises with current and temperature. The 5.8V clamp ensures compatibility with 5V-tolerant USB 3.x and DP PHY receivers.
Does RCLAMP3361P.TFT support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) signal integrity?
Yes, RCLAMP3361P.TFT supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 with measured 0.25pF junction capacitance at 3.3V bias, resulting in <0.5dB insertion loss at 5GHz and negligible eye closure in compliance testing. Its ultra-low capacitance and symmetric 10-pin DFN layout minimize stub effects and maintain differential impedance - validated using VNA and real-time oscilloscope eye analysis per USB-IF test plans.
How many ground connections does RCLAMP3361P.TFT require for full 40A rating?
RCLAMP3361P.TFT requires all ten terminals - five GND pins on each side - to be properly connected to a low-inductance ground plane to achieve its full 40A (8/20μs) peak pulse current rating. Splitting or omitting any GND connection increases parasitic inductance, raises clamping voltage, and risks thermal failure during repeated surges. Layout guidelines specify ≥4 vias per GND pin to the inner ground layer.
Can RCLAMP3361P.TFT replace standard TVS diodes in USB Type-C designs?
Yes, RCLAMP3361P.TFT replaces standard TVS diodes in USB Type-C designs where constant clamping, low capacitance, and multi-pulse reliability are required. Unlike PN-junction TVS devices, RCLAMP3361P.TFT maintains 5.8V clamping across 10–40A and –40°C to +125°C - eliminating thermal derating and enabling smaller, more robust protection schemes for superspeed lanes and PD control lines.
What is the marking code and packaging format for RCLAMP3361P.TFT?
RCLAMP3361P.TFT is marked "R36" followed by a two-digit date code (e.g., R3623) on the top surface, with a laser dot indicating Pin 1. It ships in tape-and-reel format: 3,000 units per 7-inch reel, compliant with EIA-481-D standards. The DFN-10 package measures 2.5mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm and features halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound rated UL 94V-0.
